Facebook Profiles As Facebook has become more and more popular—if it were a country, it would be the third largest in the world—its use in the field of education has expanded, too. In fact, more than 80% of college admissions officers report using Facebook as part of their recruiting process.
Are admissions officers really looking at the Facebook profiles of prospective students? And if so, are they making admissions decisions based on these profiles?
Look over this infographic. What piece of information surprises you? Is there any information that you do not understand? How do you feel about college admissions officers checking prospective students' Facebook pages?
Teenagers face increased risks and dangers over other drivers. Teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19 are 4 times more likely to get into accidents while driving than the average adult. The younger they are, the more at risk they are - 16-year-olds are twice as likely to crash per mile driven than 18-19 year-olds. In 2008, 6,428 teens were killed in car accidents.
You’re driving in busy traffic on the interstate. Who would you rather have driving alongside you, a teen driver texting on his cell phone or an elderly motorist who can barely see above the steering wheel? And remember, staying out of the car that day is not a possible answer. Most drivers would have trouble answering this question. The truth is, most of us are a bit leery of both the youngest and the oldest of motorists.
Which type of driver should really worry us? The best way to answer is to look at the strengths and weaknesses of both kinds of motorists.
Using the infographic The Worst Driver, fill in the grid with information about each type of driver. Write in complete sentences.
